90s Twinning is the latest fashion trend stars can’t get enough of -as Kylie Jenner & Maya Jama kick off summer revival
CLEBRITIES are dressing vintage.
And we don’t mean thrifted clothes from charity shops.
Not only do they have access to their own wardrobes, but of the archives of famous design houses from years gone by.
Why would they want to wear something they already own, when they could delve into some iconic looks of the past that regular folk don’t have access to.
From red carpets to holiday snaps, the A-listers are taking a sustainable approach to fashion by digging out looks worn by other celebs decades previously.
Just last week Kylie Jenner wore a red crystal bikini reportedly costing $10,000 from Chanel that was originally worn by Claudia Schiffer in the 90s on the runway. And at the Golden Globes fans were left stunned as she channelled Elizabeth Hurley in a 1999 Versace chainmail dress.

Plus 90s icon Pamela Anderson has lent Millie Bobby Brown clothes from her own wardrobe, from decades gone by this year for her film tour of The Electric State, after Millie wanted to embrace 90s fashion for the promo tour.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale takes a look at how 90s twinning is the latest trend that these stars can’t get enough of.
Kylie Jenner twinning Claudia Schiffer
Kylie loves a 90s throwback, having worn multiple 90s archive dresses to award ceremonies this year such as the Golden Globes and the BAFTA’s, she’s taken her love for archival fashion one step further this month - by wearing it to the beach.
Whilst on holiday in Turks and Caicos the 27-year-old posed in a red crystal Chanel bikini first seen on the catwalks modelled by Claudia Schiffer in 1995.
The bikini now reportedly is worth $10,000.
The high res bikini bottoms are spot on trend of the styles of today's modern swimwear, showing how timeless swimwear can be.
Maya Jama safety-pinning as good as Elizabeth Hurley
Elizabeth Hurley was fairly unknown in 1994 when she stepped out on the arms of her then boyfriend Hugh Grant at the premier of Four Weddings and a Funeral, wearing a £3,000 Versace dress held together by safety pins.
That dress alone catapulted her into stardom and is still one of the most iconic dresses of the 90s.
So it’s no surprise that celebrities would want to copy the look and whilst many have come close to wearing similar styles, Love Island presenter Maya was lucky enough to wear the dress for the MTV EMA’s in November last year.
And didn’t she look sensational in it.
Sabrina Carpenter shining bright like 90s Madonna
If you want to make a statement on the red carpet then why not look to one of the most famous women of the 90s and recreate one of her most glamorous looks.
And that’s exactly what Sabrina Carpenter did for the 2024 MTV VMA Awards.
The 26-year-old wore a Bob Mackie gown from 1991 that was first designed and worn by Madonna for the Oscars.
And the dress has even more of a historical past, with the design being inspired by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film Gentleman Prefer Blondes.
Talk about an iconic history.
The sparkly strapless gown screams Hollywood glamour and shows that that style really does stand the test of time.
Millie Bobby Brown mirroring Gwyneth Paltrow
Millie Bobby Brown’s latest film The Electric State is set in the 90s and the 21-year-old said for the promo tour she wanted to embrace the decade's fashion.
And she certainly hit her brief.
Not only has she been borrowing clothes from Pamela Anderson.
But she's seen here at the Madrid premier for the film wearing a sheer Armani dress first worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in 1998.
Gwyneth wore the dress for the premier of Shakespeare in Love that went on to win her an Academy Award.
Maybe Millie is hoping the dress will bring her the same accolades.
Jenna Ortega getting a Sarah Jessica Parker SATC look
Sex In The City was the TV show for fashion inspo in the 90s and Sarah Jessica Parkers character Carrie Bradshaw had a wardrobe many would be envious of.
One of her most famous looks was a newspaper dress from Christian Dior worn in the third season of the show.
Most recently Jenna Ortega stepped out for the premier of the Hurry Up Tomorrow premier wearing the same look.
The Gen Z generation do love throwback fashion, after missing it the first time around so it’s no surprise people went wild for the 22-year-old's look.
With SJP even saying in an interview that I’m sure she looked great in it.
Lupita Nyong’o going for Linda Evangalista catwalk style
Award ceremonies are the perfect time for celebrities to do something creative and glamorous with their look, which is what Lupita Nyong’o did at this years Oscars.
The 42-year-old wore a custom Chanel gown that took 660 hours to construct and was made of 22,410 embroidered elements.

The dress was a reimagination of a Chanel dress from 1991, first worn by supermodel Linda Evangalista on the runway.
The dress was a hit, getting Lupita on a lot of peoples best dressed list and showing that dresses as fabulous as this should be worn more than once.
All the naff 90s clothing Gen Z thinks is trendy
Millennials survived Robbie Williams leaving Take That, the Y2K bug . . . and low-slung waists.
Despite slating millennials every chance they get, Gen Z are now busy rifling through second-hand shops and pop culture archives trying to bring back the most disastrous trends.
Fabulous' Fashion Editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, shares the 90s fashion trends she thinks are "naff" but Gen Z think are "cool".
"They told us skinny jeans were uncool and, while I agree with them, it’s hard to take fashion advice from someone wearing a skirt over jeans and a knit Andi Peters would have worn on kids’ TV.
Pedal Pushers
I was astonished when I saw Topshop pedal pushers stocked on Asos. They were the go-to trew of fashion’s most unstylish era – the late Nineties, early Noughties. And now they’re back on Emily Ratajkowski and Alexa Chung, and being sold on the high street.
Fuddy Fleeces
The naffest of all the Nineties fash deemed acceptable right now has to be the fleece – you probably had a knock-off Berghaus one back in the day.
In October, customers went wild for F&F at Tesco’s North Face dupe, which cost £37 (£283 less than the £320 original) and got seven million TikTok views.
Cropper Coat
The slightly padded waterproof coat is a hit with celebs at the moment.
As far as I can see, this coat is inspired by one of TV’s most unlikely fashion muses, Coronation Street character Roy Cropper, who has worn it for the past 30 years on the cobbles.
But brands such as Prada and Bottega have seemingly been inspired by Roy’s beige jacket."
